Dreaming of a Fairies‘ Temple Artistic Interventions Regarding Festival Theatres Never Built
Mönchsberg, Schlosspark Hellbrunn, Kapuzinerberg, Mirabellgarten
From Mid-May to the End of October 2020
The numerous site suggestions and plans for festival theatres discussed during the past 130
years demonstrate the major importance which has always been accorded to the building of
such a festival theatre.
On the occasion of the Salzburg Festival’s centenary, four of these architectural projects which
were never realized will be made visible as concrete experiences in the public space through
interventions by artists and architects:
· Esther Stocker (Vienna), Three-Part Wrinkle Sculpture for Mönchsberg
Intervention regarding the Mozart-Festspielhaus project on Mönchsberg,1890 (Atelier Fellner
& Helmer, Vienna)
· Maria Flöckner & Hermann Schnöll, Norbert Mayr (Salzburg)
Intervention in Hellbrunn regarding the Festspielhaus project in the Schlosspark, 1922
(Architect Hans Poelzig, Berlin)
· Werner Feiersinger (Vienna), Panel, 2019–20
Intervention regarding the Festspielhaus project on Kapuzinerberg,1942/43 (Architect Otto
Reitter, Salzburg)
· Isa Rosenberger (Vienna), Portal Frame for Mirabellgarten
Intervention regarding the Festspielhaus project in Mirabellgarten,1950/51 (Architect Clemens
Holzmeister, Ankara)
The historical Festspielhaus projects reflect both the visions of individual persons and the
differing expectations of their times and societies. The four festival theatre designs selected
for this project – beginning with that of 1890 – refer to outstanding locations on the city’s
mountains (Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg) or elevations (Hellbrunn, Rosenhügel in
Mirabellgarten), but treat these contexts in very different manners.
The Mozart-Festspielhaus on the green plateau of the inner-city Mönchsberg was planned in
1890 with the notion of replicating the advantages of the Richard-Wagner-Festspielhaus in
Bayreuth while avoiding its disadvantages.
As early as 1917, the impresario Max Reinhardt waxed enthusiastic about the Hellbrunn palace
park as a construction site “far from the daily bustle of the city” marked by “natural and artistic
beauty”. There, Hans Poelzig planned a Festspielhaus between 1920 and 1922.
In the early 1940s, the Nazi regime wanted to inscribe its claim to totalitarian power upon the
cityscape, with a freestanding Festspielhaus as part of a comprehensive architectural plan to
build up Kapuzinerberg.

In 1950 Clemens Holzmeister chose the Rosenhügel in the Neustadt district for a
Festspielhaus project which was to integrate the Mirabellgarten and the view of the Salzburg
castle by including a glass wall in his stage plans.
Four artistic projects – three of which were selected in a competition between invited parties –
react to these four festival theatre designs with temporary interventions within the public space.
They will be freely accessible from mid-May 2020 to the end of October 2020.
Background
On the occasion of the Salzburg Festival’s 90-year anniversary, a small intervention was
staged in the area of the 1922 Festspielhaus project in Hellbrunn: together with stage designer
Regina Öschlberger, the curator of the exhibition on the Poelzig-Festspielhaus at the
Monatsschlössel at the time, Norbert Mayr, implemented a discreet “footprint” on the lawn of
the park.
Thanks to his research into architectural history, the exact construction site for the Mozart-
Festspielhaus on Mönchsberg (1890) could be determined. Early in 2019, the Salzburg
Festival invited Norbert Mayr to implement the anniversary project Der Traum von einem
Feentempel (Dreaming of a Fairies’ Temple) exploring festival theatres never built within the
public space, as part of the Festival’s centenary.
Building on the experiences of 2010 in Hellbrunn, the idea was to develop a new intervention
together with the architectural team of Maria Flöckner and Herrmann Schnöll (Salzburg),
making the 1922 Festspielhaus discernible all the way to the rhinoceros enclosure at the zoo.
A Competition for Mönchsberg, Kapuzinerberg, Mirabellgarten
In order to include as broad a spectrum of artistic approaches as possible, three curators and
experts on art, architecture and landscape architecture/urbanism (Hildegard Fraueneder,
Roman Höllbacher, Michael Obrist) nominated nine participants resp. teams who were invited
to take part in a competition.

In August the nominated artists received comprehensive materials on the three Festspielhaus
projects (plans, sources on history and architectural history, etc.) and their exact locations. In
addition, the building footprints and stage areas were marked within the area in question
(architect: Stefan Linsinger).
The competition held by the Salzburg Festival Fund by invitation began with a survey of the
sites with a colloquium and question-and-answer session on 29 August 2019.
The artistic works were to be developed especially for the places in question and refer both to
the place (Festspielhaus project and current state) and content (political and social context);
their placements were to reveal a logical concept and their aesthetic quality convince the jury.
On 22 October 2019 the artistic designs were presented to the jury.
Jury
Katharina Blaas-Pratscher, Curator for Art in Public Spaces and Chairwoman of the Jury
Helga Rabl-Stadler, President of the Salzburg Festival
Martin Hochleitner, Director of the Salzburg Museum
Oliver Gachowetz, Landscape Architect
Norbert Mayr, Architectural Historian, Project Leader
Since the construction sites of the festival theatres on Mönchsberg and at Kapuzinerberg are
no longer entirely publicly owned today, not only the public authorities in question, but also the
current owners enriched the discourse as external consultants; for example, the Hotel Schloss
Mönchstein permitted the work of art to the erected temporarily on its grounds.
With the exception of the Rosenhügel location, where the bomb-damaged Kurhaus
(sanatorium) stood, the festival theatre plans selected for this project had appropriated
exposed natural spaces or cultural landscapes. In developing their works, participants of the
competition had to deal with several cultural landscapes under nature or landscape
preservations orders, and also had to evaluate the festival theatre projects in their respective
political and social contexts.
After the presentation of the designs, the jury discussed them in detail, emphasizing the intense
study of the complex theme as well as the high artistic quality of the projects. The jury also
agreed that each of the designs elaborated could be realized at the three locations in question.
During the subsequent vote, three concepts were chosen unanimously and recommended for
implementation.

Esther Stocker (Vienna), Three-Part Wrinkle Sculpture for Mönchsberg
Intervention regarding the Mozart-Festspielhaus project on Mönchsberg,1890 (Atelier Fellner
& Helmer, Vienna)
“With her three-part sculpture, Esther Stocker stages the space, shifts perception and makes
it a new experience for visitors. The ‘crumpled design ideas‘ speak about order and disorder,
systems and the destruction of systems. In addition, the sculptures use text from the year 1890,
thereby creating a direct connection with the planned festival theatre.” (Jury statement)
Werner Feiersinger (Vienna), Panel, 2019–20
Intervention regarding the Festspielhaus project on Kapuzinerberg,1942/43 (Architect Otto
Reitter, Salzburg)
“Inspired by the plasticity of the model at the Salzburg Museum, Werner Feiersinger transforms
it into a partial object of his remarkable artistic concept. In an aesthetic setting typical for this
artist, he creates a work of art which points to the planned historical design through an
apparently trivializing, playful copy of the model, irritating the viewer. By positioning his work
near a popular viewpoint and making it available to visitors, the object becomes a place for
communication.” (Jury statement)
Isa Rosenberger (Vienna), Portal Frame for Mirabellgarten
Intervention regarding the Festspielhaus project at Mirabellgarten,1950/51 (Architect Clemens
Holzmeister, Ankara)
“With her design, Isa Rosenberger adds a very reduced signal to the highly designed
Mirabellgarten, creating a major counterpoint in these surroundings. The height of the object,
which visualizes Holzmeister’s design, is reminiscent of the historical concept to be
implemented here and alters the viewer’s notion of the city and park as well as the perception
of the space. With the planned object, Rosenberger creates a serviceable stage, making new
viewpoints and perspectives a concrete experience for the visitors.” (Jury statement)
In its meeting on 16 December 2019, the Arts Council of the City of Salzburg supported the
“temporary erection of the artworks in the suggested places” – Mönchsberg, Kapuzinerberg
and Mirabellgarten – and expressed its appreciation for the quality of the works.
Target Audience & Education
The project is aimed equally at the local population, (international) Festival visitors and guests
from all over the world.
There will be information available onsite about the temporary interventions, and it is hoped
that condensed information on the four potential festival theatre sites may remain onsite during
SALZBURG FESTIVAL 18 July – 30 August 2020
6
the coming years in the form of a stele. The information offered onsite will be complemented
by a more in-depth treatment on the Salzburg Festival website.
The Rosenhügel (resp. Mirabellgarten) is a central, easily accessible place for starting a
walking tour of the inner city which would also include the Kapuzinerberg and Mönchsberg.
All marketing activities will be embedded within the centenary activities of the 2020 Festival.
There will be a map indicating the places, which can then be explored individually. Guided
tours will be offered periodically.
During the special guided tour for the press in mid-May, there will be an opportunity to visit the
sites in the presence of the artists.

Esther Stocker
Three-Part Wrinkle Sculpture for Mönchsberg
An intervention regarding the Mozart-Festspielhaus project on Mönchsberg, 1890 (Atelier
Fellner & Helmer, Vienna)
This design presents one of three parts of Esther Stocker’s “Three-Part Wrinkle Sculpture”: using selected pages of the brochure published by the Action Committee for the Mozart-Festspielhaus in Salzburg of 1890, magnified multiple times, she shows how the project failed.

The artwork for the festival theatre location on Mönchsberg is a three-part sculpture showing
wrinkled resp. crumpled sheets. These sheets quote original excerpts from the manifesto The
Mozart-Festspielhaus in Salzburg, published in 1890 by the Action Committee, and show the
original design of the festival theatre planned by Fellner & Helmer in 1890. Today this
Festspielhaus is considered a first vision, which was to be followed by a series of additional
festival theatre plans.
The architects Fellner &
Helmer (Vienna) aligned the
Mozart-Festspielhaus project
on Mönchsberg, which was to
be far from the noise of the
city and the „bustle of profane
life“, with the tower of the
Franciscan Church resp. the
Castle Hohensalzburg.

The work conveys in a very direct manner how great ideas are born – and how they are
discarded as well. The overall sculpture plays with the design and is closely interwoven with
the place. The natural surroundings are in direct contrast with the cultural notion, thereby
offering a “stage” for the intervention.
The three sculptures stand for the description of a cultural process of the past, a process which,
however, was not completed. They can also be interpreted as a visualization of the
manifestation and discarding of ideas, and how their random resurfacing generates an echo.
For example, a quote from the manifesto of the Action Committee for the Mozart-
Festspielhaus, which also calls the building a “temple of art”, reads: “It should be a magnet for
art lovers from the entire educated world, and its design should be a first-rate specialty. Its
meaning shall be as important as the name Mozart is international.”
People’s interest for the idea of the festival theatre on Mönchsberg is to be aroused in passing.
An abandoned idea becomes an object of art, and the three-part sculpture transforms the
vision, bringing it into the centenary year of 2020.
The Mozart-Festspielhaus project on Mönchsberg in 1890 (Atelier Fellner & Helmer, Vienna) for 1500 persons was to be located on the meadow between today’s Museum der Moderne and today’s Schlosshotel Mönchstein. (The entire stage area is cross-hatched in red.) © Salzburg Festival/Linsinger ZT

An intervention regarding the Festspielhaus project in Hellbrunn’s Schlosspark
(Architect Hans Poelzig, Berlin, 1922)
Playing with various set pieces of
construction, the intervention
makes the dimension of the
Poelzig project, which extends to
the neighbouring zoo, noticeable.

imprint of the iron curtain, invites
visitors to rest under the row of

Schnöll, Norbert Mayr
As early as 1917, the theatre impresario and Festival co-founder Max Reinhardt dreamed of a
place “beyond the daily grind of the city”, but easily reachable by tram, in his Manifesto on the
Erection of a Festival Theatre in Hellbrunn.
Starting in 1920, the German architect Hans Poelzig created designs for a sweeping festival
theatre ensemble consisting of two houses seating 800 resp. 2000 persons. With terraces
accessible from the outside, Poelzig finally turned the design for the larger theatre into a rigid,
mighty building dominated by the conical pyramid of the auditorium and with a generally more
objective air. The cornerstone for this building was ceremoniously laid in 1922.
The architects’ team of Maria Flöckner and Hermann Schnöll joins Norbert Mayr in creating an
intervention which toys with set pieces of construction, emphasizing the dimensions of the
Poelzig project, which was to extend over 160 metres. Inside the Hellbrunn park, the space
will be staked and can be crossed on a marked axis. It will also be indicated in the neighbouring
zoo. So-called “ushers” alongside the axis offer orientation, and individual areas, such as the
stage or auditorium, will be conjured up before the visitor’s inner eye.

From the park lane, the building’s axis leads to the stage opening, where it crosses with the
iron curtain. Its imprint corresponds with a massive pile of boards which is about 40 cm high
and 24 metres long. This pile, located under a free-standing row of trees at the end of the
park’s meadow, invites visitors to linger.
Visitors can take elements framing this “footprint” with them as souvenirs. On special
occasions, selected gaps will be closed by replacing the survey poles, which measure about 1
m in height and are white-washed. Approximately 210 “takeaways” will be printed with
fragments of the historical context of the projects, both texts and images, and one single letter:
the letters from all the poles result in a project-specific quotation. In his speech before the
Festival Theatre Association in Salzburg, Poelzig emphasized: “Whoever enters this Festival
Theatre square must have time, he must forget all haste, and the design of the compound must
force him to acquiesce to this forgetting and delving into seeing and listening alone, with all
imaginable force.”
Starting in 1920, the German architect Hans Poelzig (Berlin) created designs for a sweeping ensemble of festival theatres, most of them located in what is today the southern part of the zoo. Poelzig‘s final project (1922) measuring 160 m in length would have ranged from the rhinoceros enclosure until far into the southern territory of the Schloßpark.

Werner Feiersinger
Panel, 2019–20
An intervention regarding the Festspielhaus project on Kapuzinerberg,1942/43 (Architect Otto
Reitter, Salzburg)
Werner Feiersinger takes Reitter’s plaster model of the 1942 Festspielhaus as the point of departure for his impressive, yet also highly reduced intervention “Panel, 2019-20”. The white-coated cast is placed as if on stage, presented in isolation near the edge of a huge white table within a grove of beech trees on Kapuzinerberg. Otto Reitter’s intended gesture of demonstrating power through a monumental, overwhelming building is here turned on its head. © Werner Feiersinger
The point of departure for the intervention is the plaster model of a festival theatre created by
Otto Reitter and held today by the Salzburg Museum, which shows the penultimate state of
the project in 1942. That year, Adolf Hitler had decided upon viewing the projected “Gauanlage”
complex on Salzburg’s Kapuzinerberg that a new placement for the Festspielhaus would have
to be chosen. Thus, it was to find its place across from the “Gauhaus” designed by architect
Otto Strohmayr, at the south-eastern edge of the massive building complex. Otto Reitter
aligned the building’s axis towards the Castle Hohensalzburg, heightening the presence of the
Nazi dictatorship within the cityscape.
The artistic intervention by Werner Feiersinger on a small clearing within the beech grove on
Kapuzinerberg is memorable, yet extremely reduced at the same time. A model based on the
historical 1942 plaster cast is slightly enlarged, cast in bronze and coated in white and placed
upon a panel of white-lacquered sheet steel measuring approximately 2 x 6 metres which is
elevated from the ground. This creates a stage-like situation.
SALZBURG FESTIVAL 18 July – 30 August 2020

After Adolf Hitler’s intervention, architect Otto Reitter aligned the axis of the monumental Festspielhaus, which was to measure approximately 110 metres in length, towards the Castle Hohensalzburg, making it the free-standing cornerstone of the “Gauanlage” complex including the Gauhalle, Gauhaus and Stadium (some variations also included an Adolf Hitler School). Together with the Wehrmacht’s constructions on Mönchsberg – a unique strategical and physical omnipresence within the “Third Reich” – this constellation was to dominate the centre of Salzburg inescapably. © Salzburg Museum
The museum-like “exhibition piece” is transported into nature, proportions are shifted and the
beech grove offers a maximum contrast to the artificial and minimalist object.
This entails a reversal: in relation to the space of the panel, the Festspielhaus model is very
small. This reverses the intended monumental concept of Otto Reitter, who meant to embed
an oversized building into the Kapuzinerberg landscape as a gesture demonstrating power.
Positioned as a miniature at one edge of the large panel, the cast of the Festspielhaus model
thus testifies to the megalomania of the Nazi regime and demonstrates the current topicality
of these issues.
The intervention is intended as a surprise for the visitors, arousing curiosity and a willingness
to engage with the history of the place. The object enables various approaches and allows for
diverse appropriations and interpretations. The viewer invariably relates to it, entering into this
artificial situation.
The construction site would have been within the grounds of the villa at Kapuzinerberg 8. A Festspielhaus during the Nazi dictatorship in Salzburg would have served as a place of “purest German art” for the “psychological armament of the people” and the depiction of the Nazi state’s power, and would have been a “central propaganda instrument of racist ideology […] within the functional context of an ideology leading to the holocaust” (Winfried Nerdinger).

Isa Rosenberger
Portal Frame for Mirabellgarten
An intervention regarding the Festspielhaus project in Mirabellgarten, 1950/51 (Architect
Clemens Holzmeister, Ankara)
With the intervention „Portal Frame for Mirabellgarten“, Isa Rosenberger recurs to Holzmeister’s considerations regarding the unity of stage and auditorium. The three-part, gold-varnished portal frame presents an abstraction of the backstage portals: the view over Mirabellgarten and the Castle Hohensalzburg is “framed” and the city itself becomes an (open air) stage. © Isa Rosenberger
The design for an artistic intervention on Rosenhügel inside Mirabellgarten recurs to Clemens
Holzmeister’s considerations on the unity of stage and auditorium and on overcoming the limits
between nature and architecture. The point of departure are the three large backstage portals
of Holzmeister’s design for the festival theatre in Mirabellgarten (1950):
If one wishes to have “an almost immeasurably large stage volume, one opens the three
backstage portals and enters a theatrical space as only the Medici in Florence had in the Boboli
Gardens!” This area, behind which the gardens stretch out, offers “nearly unlimited
possibilities. The Castle Hohensalzburg seems to hover above it all.“ (Joseph Gregor on
Clemens Holzmeister’s project)
The outlines of these three large backstage portals are abstracted and marked by a portal
frame inside Mirabellgarten, constructed of gold-varnished steel: the view of the Mirabellgarten
and Castle Hohensalzburg is thus framed – quoting Holzmeister’s design – and the city itself
becomes an (open air) stage. Visitors to the Mirabellgarten thus become protagonists of the
“world theatre” and the city becomes a “stage space”.

Using the glass back wall of the stage, Clemens Holzmeister focused on the Castle Hohensalzburg in his project for the Musical Olympic Games (1950/51). Together with the lower wings, the dominant stage tower forms an “open air stage” extending the stage toward Mirabellgarten. © Joseph Gregor, Clemens Holzmeister, 1953, p. 42
The goal is to replicate the original dimensions of the large backstage portals by means of the
steel frame: about 7.5 m height (from the ground) and 19.5 m total breadth.
This “portal frame“ will also be combined with an “audio play” available for downloading on the
Salzburg Festival website as an audio file. The audio play (lasting 3 to 5 minutes) will begin
with the laying of the cornerstone for the Festspielhaus in Mirabellgarten, an event Holzmeister
called “tragicomic”. During the further course of the audio play, the three portals “speak” about
different viewpoints and perspectives on the past, present and future of the Festival and the
city as a “stage space” in a fictitious dialogue. The text of the audio play is based on original
quotes by Clemens Holzmeister and on interviews with experts on architectural history and
(contemporary) history of the city and the Festival.
Clemens Holzmeister’s Musical Olympic Games project of 1950/51 was set to extend – approx. 130 m in length – from Auerspergstraße to the levelled Rosenhügel; the eastern building wing was to keep a good 10 m distance to Schloß Mirabell.
